The President’s Committee on Diversity Affairs (PCDA) invites students, faculty, and staff to join us for “United in Chaos: Everyday Encounters.”
Please RSVP to attend before Jan. 13!
The “Everyday Encounters” series seeks to provide a safe and respectful environment for open dialogue about some of the most pressing and divisive issues in today’s society, including election outcomes and political polarization. This series aims to equip participants with the tools needed to navigate these topics thoughtfully, helping them engage with empathy, reflect on their own role in fostering inclusive conversations, and explore the complexities that underpin democracy and social justice.
Join us in creating a space for connection and mutual understanding. We look forward to engaging with you and sharing more resources in the coming days. If you have any questions, please contact IDEAS@lawrence.edu
